If you took the very best college football players of any year would they beat a historically bad NFL team?
Would an All-American CFB team beat the 0-16 Lions team?

There would be at least 5 college kids carted off the field 
No.
The NFL is too big a leap at first, and team chemistry and playing in the same system together matter too much.
If you said, "If you took the best players in the county and had them play a season together and get used to NFL pace and develop chemistry and play knowledge together", then I think they would have a chance.
But that's more like saying, "Would the all-rookie team beat the Lions?" than "Would the best college players beat the Lions?". As long as they've only played college, they don't have a chance.

No. Most All-American QBs tend to be young sophomores . No way a 20 old qb is putting up numbers in the league.
Look at this 2012 All American team. There's only like 2-3 of the 1st teamers that are current starters in the NFL.

You're o-line would be:
Luke Joeckel - barely has played in the NFL due to injury
Barret Jones - currently a free agent, was cut by the Eagles
Chance Warmack -
David Yankey - Practice squad
Johnathan Cooper - Recently cut by the Patriots AFTER they just traded Chandler Jones for him
And these guys would have to protect a 20 year old Johnny Manziel?? I'd be surprised if they even got a 1st down.

the 0-16 Lions would be favored by 50 points
An NFL offensive line would maul those children

Find me an All-American cornerback that could guard Calvin Johnson
Find me an All-NFL cornerback that could guard Calvin Johnson.
The guy was a goddamned robot. I'd probably take him alone against an All-American squad.
The better question would be if the 2016 browns could defeat the 0-16 lions.
The Superbowl of Fukkery
Fumbles, INTs galore. add in some terrible officiating and I'd buy PPV just to watch dudes in vegas lose their minds
